Israel & the Seventy Dimensions of the World is a personal journey of healing and reconciliation using the paradigm of the seven archetypal exiles of Israel. These seven major archetypes are the basis of all seventy core-nations fo the world. What Israel has experienced historically, the individual soul experiences psychologically. An archetype is a symbol within the collective consciousness of humanity. The archetypes of exile represent the psychic aberrations that each of us experiences. Psychic aberrations are forms of blocked energies that manifest through thoughts, feelings, and images. Based on Scriptural, Midrashic, Talmudic, Kabbalistic, and Chassidic sources, this book creates an imagery of Israel and the cultures of the world unfolding into a matrix of spiritual and psychological archetypes. Through writing, poetry, and painting, Nechama leads us through a process of reconciliation in which we confront, accept, and resolve our experiences of exile. Thus we reclaim our essence, return to the true pulse of life within, and discover the depth of inner peace that links us directly to the process of world peace and redemption.
